Default abs still comming on help please

i have changed the ball joints in my front end and both sides was bad i thought maybe that was throwing my abs off but everytiime i turn my steering wheel hard left or right the abs and brake light still flashes on then soon as i turn the steering back straight it goes off normal driving it doesnt do anything i look everything over and i cant find nothing. Powersteering fluid is full and a new belt im lost hope somebody has an idea

Find some one with an abs scan tool, then watch the wheel speed on the front sensors I bet you have one dropping out on a hard turn. Also check the wiring going to the sensors from the frame they are known to break. One other thing you can do is pull the sensor from the hub and make sure there is no dirt/metal on it, if there is clean it off.

i checked the wires they looked good now it hasnt done all day but once. so makes me think there might be a short somewhere when i crank the wheel the wires isnt pulling tight it seems to have gotten better since i done the front end work. But still does it when i turn left and not the right now.

Ball joints have nada to do with abs. The tone ring and sensor is in the wheel bearing

It sounds like a broken wire on one of the two wheel sensors...whichever one is getting stretched in the direction your turning the wheel when it happens is likely the culprit...
